In the traditional method, the patients are prohibited by the surgeon from eating and drinking until the presence of bowel sounds or the passage of flatus after caesarean section surgery.

The samples were randomly divided in to groups of intervention (early feeding) and control (routine feeding). The severity of pain was recorded before and 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21.0. Descriptive statistics and analytical statistics, including t test, paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA were used. The P<0.05 was considered statistically signifcant.

Results: The mean pain severity in the intervention group was signifcantly lower compared to the control group at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours after the intervention (P<0.001).
